Langston University President Ernest L. Holloway will speak at the NAACP Salt Lake branch's 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education Banquet on May 11.

Holloway leads the university in Langston, Okla., which was founded in 1897 to provide higher education for African Americans, who were not permitted to enroll at other colleges and universities in Oklahoma Territory. The banquet will commemorate the U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed segregation in the nation's public schools.

The banquet at the Little America Hotel will be preceded by a reception that starts at 6 p.m. Tickets are $50 for adults, $25 for children and $500 for a table of seven. Reservations should be made by May 5. For information or reservations, call 801-250-5088 or e-mail jdwnaacp@att.net. Some of the proceeds will go to NAACP scholarships.
